Abstract

In both solar and wind energy systems, Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) plays a crucial role in maximizing energy extraction and optimizing overall system efficiency. The concept of MPPT revolves around continuously adjusting the operating conditions of the renewable energy source to ensure that it operates at its MPP under varying environmental conditions. In solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, MPPT is essential due to the non-linear relationship between the voltage and current output of solar panels. This non-linearity arises from factors such as temperature variations, shading, and changes in solar irradiance levels throughout the day. Without proper MPPT control, solar panels may operate below their MPP, leading to significant energy losses. MPPT algorithms play a pivotal role in optimizing the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems by continuously tracking and extracting maximum power from the solar panels. Among various MPPT techniques, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has emerged as a promising approach due to its simplicity and effectiveness in dealing with the nonlinear and dynamic nature of PV systems. Similarly, in wind energy systems, MPPT is critical for maximizing power generation from wind turbines. Wind speed variations, turbulence, and changes in wind direction can cause fluctuations in the output power of wind turbines. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) topology adjusts the rotor speed or blade pitch angle to ensure that the turbine operates at its optimal rotational speed, thereby extracting the maximum available wind energy.

Keywords: MPP, PID, PSO, Solar Energy, wind energy.
